The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising a refrigerator body and a door body. A hinge body is disposed on the refrigerator body. A first hinge shaft and a second hinge shaft are disposed on the hinge body. A first guide groove and a second guide groove are formed in the door body. The first hinge shaft is located in the first guide groove and the second hinge shaft is located in the second guide groove. During opening of the door body, the first guide groove moves relative to the first hinge shaft and the second guide groove moves relative to the second hinge shaft, the first hinge shaft applies an acting force to the first guide groove to drive the end, away from the first guide groove, of the second guide groove to approach the second hinge shaft, so that the door body is displaced in a horizontal direction.

A powered actuation mechanism for operating a closure panel device coupled to a closure panel of a vehicle, the closure panel operated between a closed position and a partially open position, the mechanism including: a motor operatively coupled to a control member; a lever body mounted at a pivot end to a body of the vehicle by a first pivot connection and coupled at an output end to a closure panel device by a second pivot connection, the lever body for driving the closure panel device; the control member having a control connection coupling the control member to the lever body, the control connection moveable between the first pivot connection and the second pivot connection such that the lever body has an opening to provide a releasable engagement of the control connection between the lever body and the control member.

A motor vehicle, which is equipped with at least one motor vehicle panel that can be moved with respect to the motor vehicle body. An adjusting unit which comprises an adjusting element with an associated drive is also provided. The adjusting element can be moved relative to the motor vehicle body and/or the motor vehicle panel into at least one retracted and extended position with the aid of the drive. According to the invention, the adjusting element comprises a lighting unit.

Automatic vehicle window control systems and methods are provided herein. An example method includes determining a first operating height of a first window of a vehicle, determining a second operating height of a second window of the vehicle, comparing the first operating height with the second operating height, and selectively adjusting the first operating height or the second operating height to be substantially equal to one another when the first operating height and the second operating height are not substantially equal.

A motor-vehicle includes one or more electrically-operated valves, arranged on the structure of the motor-vehicle in a lower position with respect to the windows, for providing a communication between a passenger compartment and the external environment, and one or more electronic control units programmed to activate a ventilation mode of the passenger compartment when the motor-vehicle is parked with the engine off, even with the driver outside the vehicle. The ventilation mode includes controlling at least partial opening of one or more windows and the opening of one or more of the valves to generate a flow of natural air from the bottom upwards through the passenger compartment of the motor-vehicle.

The present invention relates to a door operator system (1) for opening and closing an opening (2), comprising a drive unit (10), a door frame (3) and a door (8), wherein the drive unit (10) is mounted to the door (8) and adapted to move the door (8) between an open (O) and closed position (C), the door frame (3) comprise at least a first frame section (4) adapted to be mounted at a first side (5) of the opening (2), a second frame section (6) adapted to be mounted at a second side (7) of the opening (2), a first track unit (31) moveably connected to the first frame section (4), and a second track unit (32) moveably connected to the second frame section (6), the door (8) is at a first side moveably connected to the first track unit (31) and at a second side moveably connected to the second track unit (32), wherein the door frame (3) is adapted to move the door (8) between the closed position (C) and an intermediate position (I) and to guide the door (8) between the intermediate position (I) and the open position (O).

The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising a cabinet, a door and a hinge body, wherein a positioning shaft and a guiding shaft are provided on the hinge body, and a positioning groove and a guiding groove are provided on the door; the door of the refrigerator according to the present invention may be moved by a distance in a direction away from a pivoting side when being opened, thereby avoiding inconvenience of opening the door due to the protrusion of the side wall of the door.

A sliding sash assembly for use as a door or window includes: (a) a frame defining a frame opening; (b) a pair of sashes mounted in the frame opening and slidable relative to each other along an opening axis between a closed position and an open position; and (c) at least one stop device including a housing and a pair of depressible stop members movably mounted in the housing. The stop members are spaced apart from each other along the opening axis. Each stop member is selectively movable independent of the other stop member between a retracted position in which the stop member is retracted into the housing and an advanced position in which the stop member projects from the housing for engagement with one of the sashes to restrict movement of the sashes relative to each other toward the open position.

A hinge with a door holder is provided. The hinge includes at least one fixed body connected onto a vehicle body, at least one movable body connected to a vehicle door and an axis pin, wherein the axis pin provides connecting of the at least one movable body and the at least one fixed body to each other in a rotatable manner.

A motor vehicle includes a body, a side door hinged to the body so that it can rotate about an axis towards a side of the motor vehicle between a closed configuration and an open configuration; a motorized opening device, which is controllable to move the door from the closed configuration towards the open configuration; command receiving means to receive an opening request command for the door from the outside of the motor vehicle; and a control unit (ECU) configured to control the opening device so that the door rotates from the closed configuration towards the open configuration in response to the opening request command.
